Playback: Touring Festival
- Director
- Various
This touring exhibition showcases the work of more than 200 emerging 16-24-year-old artist filmmakers from across the country.
Expect everything from narrative films about drag queens, super-heroes, job centres and zombies to animated stories that feature talking goldfish and radioactive snails. Hand-drawn animations tell the story of Syrian refugees rescued by Greek fishermen, while poetry and spoken word features in films about feminism, age, identity, the prison system and the shipyards of the North East. The exhibition, which is open from 11am-6pm daily, is made up of individual touchscreens, giving you the opportunity to choose the films you want to see.
Bristolians exhibiting in Playback who have already gone onto celebrate further achievements include Issy Snailman, who recently received the Best Emerging Talent Award (16-19) at BFI Future Film Festival, remarkably for her first ever film; Marnik Loyson, who is now working for Aardman studios; and Bristol University 2016 graduate Eno Mfon, who has recently been commissioned to write a full-length play for Theatre West, in partnership with Bristol Old Vic.
